House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday said President Donald Trump had a "meltdown" in a meeting with Democratic leaders on his strategy to contain ISIS.

Trump was apparently particularly triggered by the fact the House overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution condemning his Syria retreat.

The House approved the measure in a 354-60 vote, with 129 Republicans voting in favor of it. Just 60 House Republicans voted against it.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
